Here's a quick picture of all the Indian products I own. For my first "Tea Rinse" I mixed the shikakai, maka and Alma powder in hot water; let it sit for 10 minutes, strained it and washed hair with shakakai bar, THEN I poured the tea rinse over my braids, covered with a shower cap and let it sit for 10 minutes because I was sleepy, took the cap off, rinsed it out. My hair was hard as hell EVEN though I made sure to pre-poo for almost 2 hours!!! Maybe I mixed too much powder and did not use enough water. After I saw that my braids were hard I conditioned with ORS and honey and let it sit for like 10 minutes, rinsed and my braids were soft as ever. This was my first time experimenting with the powder so I am not going to knock them. I will try again next week. :) Oh I guess I strained it well because I did not have alot of grit after I washed the tea out.
